Friday The 13th

Friday the 13th is an American horror franchise that consists of twelve slasher films, a television show, novels, comic books, and various merchandise. The franchise mainly focuses on the fictional character of Jason Voorhees, who drowned at Camp Crystal Lake as a boy due to the negligence of the teenage counselors. Decades later, the lake is rumored to be "cursed" and is the setting for a series of mass murders. Jason is featured in all of the films, either as the killer or as the motivation for the killings. The original film was written by Victor Miller, and was produced and directed by Sean S. Cunningham; neither returned to write or direct any of the sequels.

Originally created to cash in on the success of John Carpenter's Halloween (1978),the success led Paramount Pictures to purchase the full rights to the Friday the 13th franchise.

The film conforms to the generic conventions for example it includes knifes, blood, masked killer, isolated place etc therefore i wouldnt change much. I would however show more of the killer to create suspense. T
